hello, i am 16 weeks pregnant and beginning to panic about my lack of maternal abilities/general craziness. Pregnancy was very much wanted and we are very lucky etc but I am feeling quite ambivalent about the whole thing. sounds mad but find myself getting really irritated when around babies/pregnant women and have no clue what to do with the babies (other than make them cry for no reason). any recommendations (books?). help! sorry, i sound like cruella de vil.

Totally agree with the others. I'm not a 'baby' person but I adore my own. When I first found out I was pregnant, I burst out crying when my sister asked if I wanted to hold her newborn. I was terrified. But yet, when the time came, all I wanted to do was protect my little baby. I'm now expecting no 2 and have no desire to hold anyone else's baby, but I know I'll love my own.
